So I’ve been playing around with the explosion graphics in CM – I’ve enjoyed the ones from the various mods, but it always bothered me how huge and cartoony they looked. So I set about making an explosion inspired by Project Reality and Squad(…), in fancy 1024 high resolution

I was honestly a bit annoyed by CM’s rendition of the Germans firing their LMG’s with one hand on the barrel, so I saw that US soldiers in the modern games seemed to hold the M240 closer to what a German GPMG should be.

So I swapped some files and voilà.

Install it by unzipping it into the Z folder inside your data folder. Create it if you don’t have one.

It should work for all CM2 games.

Let the spirit of the MACHINE GUN be with you.

This is not a mod with actual voice files of Canadians unfortunately. Rather since the Canadians share the same voice files with the Americans one would hear at time your Canadians speaking with obviously non-Canadian accents such as US Southern or New York. I replace the offending files taking some of the new ones from other sources. Sorry no Francophone Canadians at this time.

What is HQS? This is a huge sound mod, it replaces most sound files taking the game to a new level of immersion.

Works with all parts of the World War II Combat mission game series (CMBN CMFI CMRT CMFB)

Last update 2022.01.09

Change log:

- improved voices (e.g. italian, french commanding artillery)
- improved movement infantry  
- new fog, wind ambient

Shift-left clicking should change the barn till you get this one.

A white barn

It is suitable for anywhere and any period of Combat Mission where they have whitewashed barns.  I imagine that's most places.

It is in Standard Definition (if you like) so it will load quickly. I considered making it in HD (Like Kieme's Mods) 

but decided it was simpler this way and will not look out of place near existing buildings.

It is fully functional, men on foot can enter and shoot out, and it is destructible, as normal.

I am on the Battlefront forums as JulianJ so if you have any queries, please PM me.

Sorry, don’t have the NATO or the Brits logos from CMSF.

Part of the Modder’s Little Helper series

SPECIAL NOTE: I didn’t make these. They were created by BFC.

Two styles for your choosing; Stock & Vein Style. Thanks to Vein for creating incredible mods!

Big thanks to Pete Wenman for inspiring this mod way back when!

Part of the After Action Series.

SPECIAL NOTE: You really only need one version of this mod. The FI mod will work just fine in
CMBS or FB etc. I made one for each title because not every player owns all of the variations of CM, so
they might not find it searching CMMODS otherwise.

See the README for more info and instructions.

The pictures above illustrate the reason I decided to create these. The game uses the same textures for some soldiers/vehicles no matter the formation (or sub-formation) they belong to. And so the markings on a soldier/vehicle tend to not match with what your unit information panel states. Should you have some knowledge about the manner in which the British Army marked their vehicles and uniforms then you probably have noticed other similar conflicts with them also.

Seeing my gunners and sappers appearing the same as the infantry annoyed me. But I was otherwise content with the stock uniform/vehicle textures. The only practical solution seemed to be to remove any such identifying markings from the textures. So that’s what I did. Now with this mod it is just the names given in the unit information panel that try to depict whom your soldiers/vehicles are, and nothing in the 3D view should contradict that.

• Formation Badges Removed From Uniforms
• Arm Of Service Strips Removed From Uniforms
• Shoulder Titles Removed From Uniforms
• Cap Badges Removed From Uniforms
• Tactical Signs (Coloured Shape and Vehicle Number) Removed From Vehicles
• Arm Of Service Signs Removed From Vehicles
• Battery Signs Removed From Vehicles
• Bridge Rating Signs Added To Some Vehicles
• War Department Numbers Have Not Been Added Or Removed

Notice any units continuing to show markings that can identify them as an particular formation then let me know what I missed.
